An omnipotent deity that has created good and evil is a more complex and powerful entity than a merely good one that is not omnipotent. We want to worship a benevolent omnipotent and powerful deity and we choose to believe what we want to believe.
If you were omnipotent, would you choose to be good or evil, logical or illogical?
Wouldn't it be harder to be logical than illogical, good rather than evil?
If you were omnipotent, you could just be the thing that is harder to be, therefore the Abrahamic God if He exists would be good rather than evil.
11:00 Evil is the price we pay for knowing good.
Why do we assume God is good? Because we want Him to be good.
How would we know if God is good or evil? We won't know till we are dead if God exists. As for whether He is good or evil, it would depend on whether we agree with His rules of morality and what kind of afterlife we have been allocated.
How can we know if God is good in this life? We know He is useful as a moral basis for our necessary laws that would keep our group in existence and apart from others. To the extent that following His laws helps us keep our group in existence and apart from others, God is good. Jews are the world's most ancient and powerful tribe. Without Judaism, there would be no Jews. Without Jews, there would be Jesus for Christians to worship. Without Christianity, there would be no Islam. Without Islam, there would be no means of challenging the moral sewage of globohomo.
As flies to wanton boys are we to th' gods,
They kill us for their sport.
1:28:00 King James Bible
I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.
